William Hill Winter Festival to thrill horse racing fans

Event: William Hill Winter Festival
When: Dec 26th to 27th 2009

Boxing Day weekend will see the annual William Hill Winter Festival take centre stage at Kempton Park Racecourse, bringing joy and a chance to win some money for thousands of horse racing fans.

The annual event is highly anticipated this year following last year's spectacular performance by Kauto Star, who secured his third consecutive win in the King George VI Chase in front of 22,000 people.

Only Kempton Park legend Desert Orchid had previously achieved three wins in a row and race fans will be waiting to see how the competition ends at the park, which is a 30-minute taxi ride from luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace.

Some 12 high-quality races will take place during the two-day meeting, which also offers a great opportunity for visitors to sample what the park has to offer.

Guests of the hotel can enjoy a luxury full-serviced apartment through the Magical London Package, which also includes a warming glass of mulled wine or a mug of hot chocolate on arrival.

Those on this package can checkout at 6:00pm on the day of departure.
